Abstract: An improved cutting insert with chip control features and a method for manufacturing the same. An insert body having wall regions, sides and top and bottom walls is adapted for mounting in a pocket in a holder. The insert body has cutting edges and a diagonal notch in the top and bottom sides. A land region extends rearwardly from the end wall region toward the respective top or bottom wall and defines a surface region of a predetermined width. A descending wall initiates in a portion of the land and terminates in a planar floor region having a forward, a rearward and opposed side edges. A back ramp extends upwardly from the planar floor rearward edge and terminates at the respective top or bottom wall. The end wall region can include at least one flat land region adjacent the land region. The flat land region defines a selectively removable portion of the end wall region and after any selective removal thereof represents no more than approximately one-third of the total width of the end wall region.

Abstract: A method for tracking objects is disclosed. First a region containing the objects is scanned to generate a multiplicity of sequential images or data sets of the region. A plurality of points in each of the images or data sets corresponds to a respective plurality of the objects. Next, respective figures of merit are determined for assigning the points to the tracks. Next, a k-dimensional cost function is defined which sums the figures of merit for combinations of assignments from the images or data sets. Next, the complexity of the cost function is reduced by Lagrangian Relaxation by permitting a point to be assigned to more than one track and adding a penalty factor to the cost function when a point is assigned to more than one track. The reducing step is iteratively repeated and the resultant penalized cost function is solved. Next, an auxiliary function at a (k-1)-dimension is defined as a function of lower order penalty factors and a solution at the dimension at which the penalized cost function was solved directly. Next, a gradient of the auxiliary function is determined, a step is made in the direction of the gradient to identify a peak region of the auxiliary function and penalty factors at the peak region are determined. The penalty factors at the peak region are used to determine track assignments for the points in the images or data sets. Then one or more of the following actions are taken based on the track assignments: sending a warning to aircraft or a ground or sea facility, controlling air traffic, controlling anti-aircraft or anti-missile equipment, taking evasive action, working on one of the objects.

Abstract: An article carrier having bottom, top, side and end walls interconnected to form an enclosure of rectilinear configuration and having a pair of spaced apart hand hole openings (27,27a) formed in the top wall includes a reinforcing strip (26) secured to the inner surface of the top wall and between the hand hole openings. End extensions (26a,26b) which may or may not be adhered project from each end of the reinforcing strip and are folded into flat face contacting relation with the end walls (20a,23a) respectively and are secured thereto. The fold lines between the end extensions and the cooperating end edges of the reinforcing strip are debossed so as to protrude inwardly and mate with a complementary embossed area which is encased by torque relief slits (42,43,44) thereby reducing the tension along the outer surfaces of the fold lines between the top wall and the end walls so as effectively to strengthen the load bearing elements of the carrier top wall.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a spinning reel for fishing which eliminates the accumulation of line twists in a fishline regardless of the line winding diameter on a spool. The spinning reel for fishing includes a rotor (35) rotatably mounted to a reel main body (37), and the spool (49) is supported on the reel main body (37) through a spool shaft. Turning a manual handle (51) causes the rotor (35) to rotate around the spool (49). A line roller (43) is supported on the rotor (35) and guides the fishline onto the spool during winding. The line roller (43) is oriented such that the diameter of a fishline guide portion (43a) of the line roller (43) increases in the direction of rotor rotation during winding. A guide projection extending generally toward the longitudinal midpoint of the line roller (43) contacts the fishline to ensure the fishline is maintained at a desired position with respect to the line roller (43) during winding.

Abstract: A method of controlling the polarization properties of a photo-induced device in an optical waveguide and a method of investigating the structure of a light guiding body such as an optical waveguide (10) are disclosed. A device, such as gratings, is written by exposing one side (1,2) of the optical waveguide to light. The unexposed side (3,4) is then exposed to an amount of light sufficient to impart the desired birefringence to the written device. The birefringence can be minimized in the written device by exposing the opposite side to light in an amount sufficient to minimize the amount of birefringence. The light guiding body is investigated by cleaving the elongated light guiding body, such as an optical waveguide, to expose its cross-section. The cleaved section is then treated to expose difference between the core and cladding. Treatment may include etching in an acid or base. The cross-section is then profiled with a scanning probe microscope such as an atomic force microscope to investigate the structure of the light guiding body. The difference in refractive index can be determined across the cleaved endface based on differences in the etched depth.

Abstract: A transmitter which can easily suppress diffusion of a spurious with a simple constitution. The on/off operations of the transmitting circuit and the carrier signal generating circuit are controlled by the first control signal which rises at the predetermined timing and falls at the predetermined timing, and the on/off operation of the modulator is controlled by the second control signal which gently rises at the same or later timing than the rise timing of the first control signal and gently falls at the same or earlier timing than the fall timing of the first control signal, so that a phenomenon which is similar to pulse modulation of the leaked carrier signal fc becomes hard to be generated, therefore diffusion of the spurious can be suppressed.

Abstract: A skin pattern image is filtered by convolution calculation on a real plane or product calculation on a Fourier transformed plane with each of two-dimensional filters prepared according to kinds of features to be extracted of the skin pattern image. Image intensity of each subregion of each filtered data is calculated. Feature of each subregion is represented by a feature parameter corresponding to a filter that gives a highest value of the image intensity of the subregion. An initial pattern of features thus obtained is smoothed to minimize an evaluation function. A filtered skin pattern image having pixel values of each subregion smoothed by a set of filters prepared for extracting a kind of features is further filtered by another set of filters for extracting another kind of features. <IMAGE>
